🧨 Lazio beat Pisa 2-1! Pedro's goal and farewell, Olimpico rises 😍 | OneFootball

Lazio win and finish this season in ninth place on 54 points. Moreno’s goal (23’) was answered by Dele-Bashiru (33’) and Pedro (35’).

An entertaining first half with several chances for both teams, who enjoyed themselves and put on a good show.

The Biancocelesti got off to a poor start and as early as the 1st minute Pisa came close to scoring through Vural, who curled a brilliant shot that went just over. 

However, Sarri’s side took control of the game and tried to dictate play by increasing the pressure, but they conceded when Moreo rose highest to head home a perfect assist from Aebischer. Lazio did not give up, though, and found the equalizer through Dele-Bashiru, who picked out the corner and beat Semper after a brilliant solo move by Belahyane. Just two minutes later, Pedro gave himself the joy of saying goodbye to the Olimpico with a goal, which also proved to be the winner. A one-two with Noslin, then the captain did brilliantly to lose his marker and pick out the corner.

In the second half the tempo was low aside from a few flashes from Noslin and Maldini, but there was still time for a standing ovation from the Olimpico for Pedro. The number 9 left the pitch to applause from his teammates and the fans, who paid tribute to him with several banners. Off the field there was also an embrace with Maurizio Sarri, for whom this was in all likelihood his last match as Lazio coach. 

✅ Serie A debut for Brando Bettazzi

Pisa brought on the very young Brando Bettazzi. The 2007-born midfielder made his absolute Serie A debut. 

Meanwhile, 2008-born Giacomo Giacomone, Lazio’s fifth-choice goalkeeper, did not make his top-flight debut. He had been ready to come on in place of Furlanetto. The keeper had in fact felt some discomfort, which then passed. 

Standing ovation for Pedro and a hug with Sarri 😍

Pedro came off to a standing ovation from the Olimpico. That is how the Spanish champion said goodbye to the Biancocelesti fans after 209 appearances, embellished by 39 goals and 18 assists. The number 9 left the field to applause from his teammates, both on the pitch and on the bench, and from the supporters, who paid tribute to him with a banner: "PEDRO PE'...SEMPRE ❤️" 

Immediately after the substitution - Dia came on for him - there was also time for a beautiful embrace between the Spaniard and Maurizio Sarri, with the latter, as reported by Dazn, thanking him. 

🚑 Gila off injured

The second half began and Maurizio Sarri was forced to replace Mario Gila through injury. The former Real Madrid man had to leave the field because of a muscular problem that he has been dealing with for quite some time. Even before the match, his presence in the lineup had been in doubt. Provstgaard came on in his place.

⚽️ Lazio turn it around: first Dele-Bashiru, then Pedro 🤯

After conceding Moreo’s goal, Lazio took control of the match and turned it around within 12 minutes, first through Dele-Bashiru and then Pedro. 

In the 33rd minute, a great solo move by Belahyane, who laid it off to the edge of the box for Dele-Bashiru. The Lazio midfielder shrugged off his marker in style and scored with a low right-footed shot.

Just two minutes later, Pedro, in his last match at the Olimpico, made it 2-1 with a brilliant right-footed strike from the edge of the box to beat Semper. After the goal, the Lazio captain went over to embrace the fans, including Maurizio Sarri.

⚽️ Moreo opens the scoring with a header

Pisa struggled in the opening stages, but then took the lead through Stefano Moreo. A deadly counterattack from the Tuscan side, with the move developing down the right through Aebischer. The former Bologna man delivered a precise assist right into the six-yard box, where Moreo made it 1-0 in the 23rd minute with a winning header. 

💥 Triple chance for Lazio! Marusic hits the post

After a subdued start, Lazio had two chances in the space of a minute, first through Cancellieri, who, after winning the ball in the final third, found himself one-on-one with Semper but fired over, helped by a deflection off a Nerazzurri player. 

Shortly afterward, Marusic shot from close range but hit the post. A few minutes later, Pedro, in his final match at the Olimpico, struck from distance but Semper denied him with a great save. The Biancocelesti have still started better overall, coming close to scoring several times and trying to break the deadlock.

🧨 Sarri: "Pedro is PHENOMENAL, I’m calm"

Maurizio Sarri spoke to Sky before Lazio-Pisa.

“Pedro is phenomenal, he has had a phenomenal career, won everything he could, and up to today he has been an example not only in terms of technical quality, but also inside the dressing room. Phenomenal in every respect.”

“No trophies? It’s clear that we finished second and reached the final, but the win eluded us. We were not built to win this year.”

“Mood? This match is the mirror of our season. Even tonight we are missing 8 or 9 players. It has been a constant difficulty. We arrive in a difficult moment with the desire to end the season well. I’m calm.”

🔚 Pedro’s last match as captain

The Olimpico is getting ready to say goodbye to Pedro. Tonight the Spaniard will play his last match in a Lazio shirt, and he will do so with the captain’s armband, as had already happened with Miro Klose in May 2016.

The Spanish champion had already announced his departure from Lazio in recent weeks and at the end of the Coppa Italia final he went to embrace his teammates and the fans under the Curva Nord - who were not present at the derby and will not be present tonight against Pisa either - along with a dedicated banner: "Thank you, Champion"
